Rich Text Format 

Rich Text Format

Rich Text Format (RTF) is a method of producing a formatted report (ie. with centred text, bold and italics, for example).  Without RTF, a text file will contain only plain text in a single font, without any special formatting, and this is much less attractive and harder to read.

Solar Maps can produce its relocation interpretations report either with or without RTF. However, if you use the RTF option, then you must be using a word processor which is capable of understanding the RTF format. MS Word for Windows, WordPerfect and the Windows WordPad can all understand the RTF format. However, if you have the RTF option switched on, but are using a word processor which does not understand RTF, then you will see a lot of spurious items in the report file which interfere with its normal layout. Unless you have this problem, it is recommended that you leave this option switched on.

To switch on or off the RTF option

Select the “Rich Text Format“ item from the “Reports“ menu.

This will switch the option on if it is off, or switch it off if it is on. A tick mark appears to the left of this menu item when it is switched on.
